Its slow going JB My husband has a foot injury that slows him down and makes it hard for ladder work. And I am trying to acchieve a backlog of leadlight work that piled up while I was sick. We will get there. The window like areas each side of the double doors will have cartoonic style budgies done in real leadlight in them. The wood you see is temporary to stop any possible budgie escapes from the birdroom while we work. I have a skyblue cock called HOUDINI who escapes the breeder cage any chance he can. He is the father to all my normal skyblueblue and YF skyblue babies in my kindie cage baby topic.

2-3 bags of sand will do it.

No. Back then I didnt candle eggs

I really dont know Pearce, but I have had twins hatch before. Time will tell.

UPDATE on the LARGE EGG .............. Its fertile

Glad to hear you have some babies

Dolomite is the better one to use and is available from any garden centre as is bags of white sand.

Photos ?

Best of luck with your hen

Very interesting

As soon as they leave the nestbox.

Better luck next time Daz. I guess the competition was fierce

Third chick to Omelette hatched today. The foster chick died...seemed to have an issue with its crop. Omelettes daughters nine eggs were candled and I threw out 4.

Another Perth member !! Woo hoo.....there's a few of us here in Perth

Very cool :budgiedance:

Really pleased for you and what a bargain

Depends on the type of tube feeders. The petshop or supermarket types having a thinner tube than some and being made of hard plastic dont last long before they split. The softer plastic and larger tube drinkers and feeders last ages without splitting. A lot of tube feeder or jar feeders are prone to clogging up, especially if you have weevil moths about. I use dishes these days in preference to tube feeders, and I use tube drinker on breeder cages, and large drinkers in the aviary and feeding platforms and large trays for seed.

Pearce....these babies you posted would do you proud. Cant wait to see what they look like in around 8 months time

Good tip, Heath How did it work out Splat ?

There may be a clear egg or two in the daughters nestbox ...I am not sure. BUT when they lay so many, often the last ones laid take a few days to colour up. In Omelette's nestbox...no surprises....grey green to grey green means grey green babies I guess. Dad is split blue though. How many nests ? Dont know. Will count for you tomorrow. I have around 30 breeding cages on the go right now in various stages.

and I have a one legged DF dommie pied cock Maybe it matches Renee's hen

Sounds like an almost admission of "guilt"

Good job
